Gluten-Free Restaurants in Washington, DC

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“This resturaunt was amazing! The service was absolutely the best, the food was sooooo delicious and flavorful and the ambiance was great. Definitely will be going there again.“

“I enjoyed the most decorative meals full of nutrients and I would love to visit them ones again when I get less busy one day😊💕“

“A cute and cozy bistro with delicious food and fabulous service!“

“I'm helping to run a large conference in a venue that won't allow outside food, so I needed somewhere where all the staff/volunteers could quickly run and grab dinner, sit and eat, then run back to the venue to keep working on the conference. Little Beet was one of VERY FEW places nearby that was actually able to accommodate everyone's dietary needs (lots of vegan, gluten free, etc) and have seating/tables. Everyone was extremely complimentary about the food quality and at least a couple people mentioned how thrilled we were that a low FODMAP bowl existed - that's a dietary need that a lot of restaurants won't/can't accommodate. They were extremely accommodating about allowing me to just email in a spreadsheet of food orders, had the food conveniently bagged up for us and labelled with names, and they helped us out at the absolute last minute when we needed to add Friday lunch on top of Saturday dinner. It was really nice to all sit together at the tables/benches outside. I would recommend Little Beet!“

“Compliments to the Chef. The Michelin star is so deserved. The setting in pics seems strange but please trust the staff and the kitchen, EAT HERE. We Loved it. Try the Marrow starter and if you are from IRL or the UK the beans and pork belly is next level. BRAVO“

“This place was an absolute gem during our week-long stay in DC. We visited it a whopping five times! We had such a great time, especially when we made a funny joke about breakfast for the next morning. 😂 Because we had already eaten it .“

“Maman is hands down the best coffee shop in the entire DMV area! Their special coffee flavors are absolutely amazing, offering a unique experience with every sip. The pastries and cookies are equally incredible, fresh, and delicious every single time. The environment is cozy and welcoming, with beautifully decorated interiors that make you feel right at home. Whether you're there to work, relax, or catch up with friends, Maman's ambiance creates the perfect setting. I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Ottimo , ci siamo sentiti a casa“

“Friendly! European atmosphere!“

“No other bakery like Seylou. We travel in to the city every weekend to eat here. The staff is so kind and feels like an extension of our family. They’ve taken my child behind the scenes and shown him how grains are killed and bread is baked. I could not ask for a better community and diet staple.“

“Had pizza delivered to our Hotel, & it tasted great plus the cookies are chewy & delicious! We were hesitant on where to order from and DC Pizza did not disappoint. Thank you for the delicious food!“

“Love love love Levain!

The cookies are always so delicious, it is so hard to not order all at the same time.
I often take the classic two-chip chocolate cookies, but I’ve also tried the oatmeal raisin, the chocolate walnut, and the caramel coconut chocolate ones.

They’re all absolutely delicious, and depending on my mood I’ll get different ones.

They have seasonal cookies too, lately it is the carrot cookie. Can’t wait to test it! I’ve also tried the gluten free chocolate walnut cookie, and it is also worth the hype.

The staff is pretty quick, it’s not particularly a seating cafe but it’s a nice little snack at the end of the day :)“

“I’ve had Indian food all over the country and internationally, and I would say this was the best Indian food I’ve had in my life. Everything was super fresh, flavorful, dynamic without being overly salty or sweet, just delicious and interesting and well balanced. I can’t recommend it enough. The cherry on top is that it’s also super reasonable. Parking is a little dicey in that area but if you look in the residential neighborhoods, you’ll eventually find something. If you can, Uber to it that’s even better.“

“Taberna del Alabardero Restaurant is stunning in terms of architecture and ambiance—the interior and overall design are truly amazing.

However, the food didn’t quite meet my expectations. While the setting is impressive and makes for a beautiful dining experience, I found the flavors and dishes themselves to be underwhelming compared to the atmosphere.

Overall, it’s worth visiting for the architecture and vibe, but don’t expect the food to wow you as much.“

“Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese was absolutely amazing and the Mac N Cheese is GREAT! Highly recommend“

“Great place to grab a drink and meet new people and don’t forget the amazing brunch every Saturday and Sunday 11:00 and 1:00pm.“

“refreshing and fulfilling smoothies Healthy and great taste“

“We were looking for unique dining experiences while on vacation in DC and this place did not disappoint!! Excellent food, large portions, and great staff. Would definitely come here again if we’re ever back in the area.“

“A chill little bakery with fantastic pastries, cookies and croissants, as well as quality coffee. Also ordered a cake for my husband's birthday and it was a major hit!“

“We went to there to celebrate our anniversary had a great time. The service agreed was very great friendly and fast. The food was delicious and they also have a kids menu with a very unique way of displaying that menu. The firefly burger was delicious the kids enjoyed their chicken tenders and fries as well as chicken and waffles. The grilled chicken was ok.“

“Excelente lugar, la comida, la atencion en especial la de Federico, nos dio muy burnas recomendaciones, es excelente.“

“We were hanging out in Georgetown with our guests from out of town and we were looking for a place to eat lunch. We are all vegetarians and upon seeing good rating of this small restaurant, we decided to give it a try and we are so very glad we did. It's a hidden gem with delicious and healthy food with all vegetarian choices. The food was not only fresh, perfect temperature, and tasty but they had things on their menu that you don't find at a normal mexican joint.“

“We’ve always loved Baked & Wired’s goods, and we knew they would make the perfect cake for our wedding day. Of course, they delivered. Baked & Wired was very easy to work with and the cake was just right! Our guests loved it, and we can’t wait to eat the last slice on our one year anniversary!“

“Fun sitting on the swings to eat! Sausage pizza was really good and my daughter said the gluten free margherita pizza was good, too!“

“Fresh delicious and healthy! Friendly staff clean and welcoming atmosphere.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“The cookies are so fresh and full of flavor. Also am a big fan of the coffee.“

“This has definitely become my new local coffee shop. It’s the kind of place you can go to every day before work starts—it has already become that for me.

The atmosphere is great; it’s a very easy place to get some work done or settle in with a book, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. I love coming here in the morning for an iced mocha and their sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The seasoning is excellent and the food is always fresh.

The staff is super nice and they are incredibly quick with orders. I’m already planning on heading back this Saturday with my new read.

Highly recommend!“

“The staff are super friendly and they serve food right on time. Food is fresh and sumptuous. Price is reasonable and place has a great simple and clean ambience. Definitely a must go. 💯💯💯“

“We love Washington DC so my wife and I wanted some pizza. We were staying at the Embassy suites in NW so I googled pizza that was close by. Pizzoli‘s pizzeria came up. It looked good so we took an Uber there and the pizza was excellent. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Made from scratch good. We were a little bit surprised in that it was a smaller establishment as we thought we were going to a place that had lots of tables, etc. This place has one inside table and five or six countertops to eat at and then they have several tables outside but as noted, the food was fantastic. Would certainly recommended, and we will be back home future visits.“

“I’ve been a loyal Tatte fan for over 10 years, following them from Boston to DC. The West End location is my favorite in DC—I love the large, airy interior with higher ceilings. Their Pistachio Cherry Tart is my go-to. It's a must-try!“

“Today I had the best fried chicken sandwich since Kevin Tien’s Perfect seasoning—a little heat but not too much, smashed avocado, coleslaw, and chicken that had just the right amount of crispy covering that kept the chicken moist. I can’t wait to return for another.“

“lunch was delicious and the Gelato was even more delicious deliciouser! 😋 sitting outside across from Kennedy Center was a plus.“

“Teaism Dupont Circle Washington, DC I am not a great cook and I get too tired of eating the same old thing day in and day out so I decided to try something new after leaving my acupuncture session today. Well, needless to say the creamy curry spinach with cheese cubes and brown rice made my day.“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Very beautiful area. The quiche was the best I’ve ever had! Very cozy place.“

“Awesome pastries, bread and other baked goods. Very creative seasonal menu that uses fruit and veggies at the peak of their flavor. Love love love it!“

“The cinnamon rolls are so amazing. Tasted like the real (gluten) thing. I’m very picky with cinnamon rolls and I read other reviews so the expectation was high, but it exceeded my expectations. I was so happy to see the large menu and so many options“

“While in the area, I stumbled upon this hidden gem. From the moment that I walked in, I was greeted politely, informed of the days special and offered a tasting. Everything was so delicious that I can't only recommend one item. Will definitely be a repeat customer in the near future.“

“We were in town too see the Cherry Blossoms. While looking for something quick to eat, we stumbled upon SeoulSpice. I have been craving my mother's cooking... You guys are the closest to her cooking that I teared up while eating.... All the way to the last bite. 😋 And then we went again the next night!“

“The Sunday brunch was amazing. We had a large group and our server Veronica made it special from start to finish. She was high energy and even gave tips on how to best enjoy the experience. The food was delicious with an amazing variety. Highly recommend.“

“The food is good, but I’m gonna have to remove stars because of the customer service. 😕 When I first entered, I wasn’t greeted. The associate just stared at me, as if to say “I don’t have all day. Are you gonna order anything?” She had the most stony expression… It was only my second time here, so I was quite sure I had not had any negative encounters with anyone. I was trying to get suggestions and ask questions about certain things, but every time I asked a question about something, the server just dumped it in the bowl. He never answered the question. When I got to the cashier, I apologized, because I wondered if I had done something wrong. But he just referred to me as “diva,” and tried to assure me that nothing was wrong. I told him I didn’t appreciate being called a diva. I just don’t like being treated like I’m a problem when I haven’t done anything. I gave two stars for service, because my first experience was so amazing! I don’t know what happened.“

“Today I came to try district taco for the first time.. I was genuinely pleased with how moises treated me and gave me recommendations. I had the california burrito and it was very good, I wasn’t in any rush but I was satisfied with the short wait time. definitely recommend and I will be coming here more often.“

“Very good Thai food! The waiters were very patient and considerate. Dining was very smooth experience. The food was well prepared especially the soups and fried rice. I highly recommend anyone around DC area to give this restaurant a worthy try.“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“The Chai is my latest obsession! Stopped in while visiting the White House and was blown away. The food was freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely frequent this eatery if I lived locally. For now, I am ordering their Chai online.“
